Limited liability companies (LLCs) insulate owners from “inside” business liabilities, similar to corporations, but, unlike corporate stock, member equity held in a protective LLC generally may not be reached. Also, an “outside” creditor of an LLC member cannot acquire voting equity in a protective LLC, nor reach LLC assets. Claims on LLC interests are generally limited to a charging lien. These asset protection measures are just a few of the reasons LLCs have largely become the business entity of choice.
